Our hens that were hatched in March are starting to lay! Everyone is so excited!!

The eggs are so teeny tiny (and cute) but they will get bigger over time. Only time will tell if the hen will lay small, medium, or large eggs.

Most of the eggs were hidden under the roost in the poopy mulch. New layers don’t always know where they should lay and try to make their own nests, lol. Thankfully the Buff Orpington laid her egg in the nestbox this morning. Hopefully the others will follow after her and learn sooner, rather than later.

Our Hens

Our hens are spoiled!

This last year they got all sorts of fresh figs, blueberries, blackberries, veggies, herbs, grasses, and more, as well as balanced feed we provided. They also got to chose sleeping inside their roost or on a tree like in nature.

Our Easter Eggers lay mostly blue and green eggs though we have 1 that lays a lighter colored brownish egg. The darker brown eggs come from our Cuckoo Marans and Welsummers. The other shades of brown are laid by either our Speckled Sussex's or Silver Laced Wyandotte's.
